POINT Has no size, only location A LINE Continues without end in opposite directions. You can name a line by using two points on the line. A B AB PLANE A flat surface that extends indefinitely in four directions. PARALLEL LINES Lines in the same plane that do not intersect. ANGLE is made up of two lines with a common endpoint called the vertex. O VERTEX M P <OMP or <PMO RIGHT ANGLE Measures exactly 90° W X Z <WXZ or <ZWX OBTUSE ANGLE Measures greater than 90° and less than 180° U K T <UTK or <KTU STRAIGHT ANGLE Measures exactly 180° C R B <CBR or < RBC PERPENDICULAR Lines that intersect to form right angles. COMPLEMENTARY ANGLES Two angles, the sum of whose measures is 90°. R <RTS and <STU are complementary angles S T U SUPPLEMENTARY ANGLES Two angles, the sum of whose measures is 180 I D <DGI and <IGF are supplementary angles G F TRANSVERSE LINES Intersect a pair of parallel lines. 1 7 8 2 <s 1 & 2 and <s 7 & 8 are outside the parallel lines. They are exterior angles. 5 3 6 4 <s 3,4,5, and 6 are inside the parallel lines. They are called interior angles. CONGRUENT ANGLES Angles that have the same measure. ACUTE TRIANGLE A triangle with three acute angles. OBTUSE TRIANGLE A triangle with one obtuse angle. RIGHT TRIANGLE A triangle that has one right angle. EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE A triangle with three congruent sides and three congruent angles. ISOSCELES TRIANGLE A triangle that has two congruent sides. SCALENE TRIANGLE A triangle with no congruent sides. POLYGON A closed shape formed by line segments that do not cross. CONVEX POLYGON A rubber band can fit tightly around this figure. PARALLELOGRAM A quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides parallel. RECTANGLE A parallelogram with four right angles. RHOMBUS A parallelogram with four congruent sides. SQUARE A rectangle with four congruent sides. TRAPEZIUM A quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides.
